Austin turns SEVEN!!!

In November Austin turned SEVEN! He was so excited!! He is the one that looks most forward to his birthday every year. It gets really bad once Samantha's comes along in June! This year he is big into Star Wars and wanted an R2D2 cake for his birthday party.

Here are all the wild party animals! :)
One of our games was to stuff as many marshmallows in your mouth as possible and still say "happy puppy."

And the other was a race to see who could move their smarties from the table to the bowl with only a straw the fastest. Pretty funny!

We are so happy that Austin is a part of our family! He has such a tender heart and is always the first to share with his sisters!

WE LOVE YOU AUSTIN!!

Halloween 2009

Better late than never! Right?! I have been trying to get my photoshop to work so that I could make these pics into cute pages, but to no avail. :( So, we will post them anyways! :) So here we go, in no special order.....since the site is being stubborn and won't let me switch the order.

We had a FUN Halloween this year! The kids were SO excited! Taryne sure got the "Tritree"(Trick-or-Treat) and "Cue!"(Thank you!) down quick once she seen candy was involved!

Here is GI JOE Austin!

Here is Taryne, Eva, and Anna trick-or-treating! Yep, this is how they rolled! ;)

Here is our whole trick-or-treat crew.
Here is the kids going to the neighbors houses.


Taryne the "B-bug!" She calls all flying bugs that.

Sammy the Good Purple Witch! :)

Here are all three kids. Austin cracks me up in this one!

A few days before Halloween we carved our pumpkins! This year I was pretty proud of the kids. Usually it is "Mom, it's gross! Will you clean mine out?" But this year they did their best, and with the help of Grandma and Grandpa they ended up with some great jack-o-lanterns!

Here are Curt's and Sammy's.

Then mine and Austin's!
